Beautiful Arms

My day has chilled my toes to the loss of sensation
and the grinding of skin as though it were bone
and the ice throughout the underside of my skin.
"Lay your cold here," you say.
I press into your heated blanket of a body,
and you absorb the shivering child that is me,
and, melting, I become
your
woman.
